Persistence(坚持) paid off

When I graduated, I was by no means an exceptionally talented web developer. Like many graduates, I was clueless which 36 to take when I left university, so I took a couple of gap years travelling around North America. After travelling, I returned home and 37 in a restaurant where I was offered an assistant manager role. 38 the offer was appealing, it occurred to me that if I didn't start inspiring my enthusiasm, soon I would find myself relying on a(n) 39 wage and stuck in a career routine.

At this time, in 2002, the digital industry was booming in the UK, and after looking into this area 40 , I realized I was very interested in 41 a career in web development. The main question was: "where do I start?" I had very little 42 knowledge or indeed skills in web development, and I couldn't get a job without the experience and skills 43 my belt. So, I put everything I had into learning more and finding a job in web-designing industry. I 44 my resume (简历) by post to every digital agency within 100 miles — making it clear I was 45 to work without pay if I could gain experience. This brought a few 46 ，but nothing which 47

my career ambitions or me.

Having 48 to find myself a training position within a company, I realized that if I wanted to get into this industry I would need to 49 my own opportunities. So, I asked a friend who owned a pub if I could create a website for him. I even asked for a small upfront payment which

50 me to complete the site quickly and to the 51 standard. It proved to be a great website, and a good investment (投资) for my friend, as it attracted new customers. Eventually, I 52 a local web development agency — which had already turned me down twice! — to take a look at my work. The company was 53 that I was not going to give up on my passion, decided to take me

54 .

After being offered the post, I've learned when it comes to careers, persistence often pays off. It demonstrates enthusiasm, commitment and drive; all attractive 55 in the eyes of an employer. So, don't give up if you don't get the placement or role first time round — sometimes persistence is all it takes to catch an employer's eye.

A

I was born in a middle class family. At one time, I was a girl who was talkative and confident. Friends around me envied me that l was always keeping a smile on my face and regarded me as a little happy swallow. However, things have changed with the passage of time. In 2006, I failed to get into my ideal university. But I didn't want to give up, so I was determined to retake the exam in 2007. At that time, I was confident in showing my abilities. Unfortunately, things didn't go well again. I can clearly remember that it was on August 15th of 2006 that my family received a bad news from my relatives. It wasn't until then that I came to realize how much of burdens I have to bear. Having heard that my elder sister suffered from mental illness, I couldn't help crying in class.
